The best thing about staying here was the people - lots of helpful advice from the women on reception as I had to get a very early train from Marseille St Charles station and hadn't used Marseille's metro system before. They gave me a great map and a confidence boost. A good buzz in the bar/restaurant. A couple of niggles about the room - I ended up fixing a piece of cardboard over a light on the broken climate control that kept flashing through the night - but nothing major. Rooms are small but prices reflect that, I think. Am looking forward to staying again.

Location is great if you want to experience the “raw” side of Marseille. Very well located around great restaurants , bakeries and public transport. Direct bus to Calanques natura park ( Cassis ) and other places in the city.
Rooms and very basic. Not super clean , but great bed and good bedsheets, airconditioned room with fridge. The food in the hotel is overpriced and not worth it. Eat outside and stay just for the night! Perfect.

We were put in two different rooms because of issues, and both were filthy and faulty. Bless the team for moving us when we raised concerns that neither our tv nor safe worked in our first room and that our shower was leaking through the floor, but the next room was just as dirty. We had a blocked bathroom sink the whole stay that stank, and the room often additionally smelt like smoke due to people standing at the hotel bar smoking right outside our window. It's also very noisy in the evenings. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you have a young kid or just want to sleep at some point before 1am...disappointed, especially for the cost.

It was our first time Marseille and first time Mama Shelter and neither disappointed! The people working at reception are welcoming, the mixologist at the bar makes great cocktails, there are underground parking options, and the rooms are clean. Unlike some other reviewers, I thought the area is great: you have a lot of nice bars in the area, you can have a nice local breakfast at cafe La Muse or enjoy natural wines and veggie food in Winesucker x Mercato. No 5 stars for Mama Shelter, because bathroom products were too limited (had to buy our own liquid soap, but since we’re in Marseille this wasn’t difficult), and our room could’ve used a sitting area or couch to fill the empty space and make it more cosy. Overall the rooms could benefit from a TLC makeover, but the cleaning staff did what they could to at least make it feel fresh. This Mama is welcoming, and although she aged a bit by now, she still takes good care of her guests.
